Singers and orchestra members affiliated with Opera Ballet Vlaanderen treat you each month to a relaxing aperitif concert. Great works from the chamber music repertoire alternate with rarely performed pieces and forgotten gems. After each concert, there is an opportunity to chat with the musicians. One drink is included in the ticket for each concert.
With Bachianas brasileiras, Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos created a remarkable fusion of Brazilian folk music and Baroque polyphony in the spirit of Johann Sebastian Bach. The most beloved work from the series, Bachianas brasileiras No. 5 for soprano and eight cellos, features in a concert in which singers and musicians of the house treat us to music from their homelands. A musical journey that takes us from Finnish songs by Jean Sibelius to Korean and Iranian music—and, of course, Argentinian tango.
